That’s pretty outrageous. Hyundai has a big manufacturing plant in Alabama and is a political powerhouse in the state. The company has a major interest in marketing their cars to Latino, African-American, Asian-American, immigrant and labor households – the very constituencies they’re turning their backs on now.

On this trip, I’m going to be accompanying Eliseo Medina, SEIU, and Wade Henderson, The Leadership Conference. Just last week, the two of them were marching in Alabama from Selma to Montgomery. This week, they’re keeping the drumbeat on H.B. 56 alive by flying all the way to Seoul to protest Hyundai’s decision to stay quiet about this clear violation of civil rights.
